Help may be on the way for Lowe's workers

Southwick Clothing in Haverhill is adding 30 to 40 positions and is encouraging people who lost their jobs at nearby Lowe's to apply, the Eagle-Tribune reports.

The announcement comes after Lowe's closed its Haverhill store over the weekend. As the Boston Business Journal reports, Lowe's is now in the process of closing seven New England stores. The Haverhill closure put more than 100 people out of work.
